Can You Paint Without Sanding? // Chalk Paint vs Regular Paint; Painting IKEA Furniture, and MORE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- I get a lot of questions about different types of paint, whether you need a primer, and if you can paint Laminate, IKEA furniture or Glossy Previously-Painted Surfaces without sanding, so, I thought I would put all of these questions to the test and come up with some answers for you!!
I will be testing Chalk Paint and Regular Dulux Water-Based Paint, both with and without primers, and on a variety of surfaces, all without sanding! Then we will put these surfaces to the test and see how well they hold up! I do a bonus test at the end too, so make sure you don’t miss that!
I love creating Hamptons Style DIY projects on a budget, and I would love for you to stick around, subscribe and check out my other videos too! Thanks so much for watching and hope this helps give you some inspiration for all those DIY projects sitting around at your place!!

NOTE: Chalk Paint is still very hard to find in Australia, the one I'm using is from Spotlight but I'm not as impressed as I was hoping to be, and I know Bunnings is supposed to have the Rustoleum brand chalk paint but the colours available are very limited (and hard to get during COVID 19!). So keep an eye out for chalk paint and let me know if you find a great one that's easily available in Australia! x
Wow BELLE What a comprehensive test this is. Happy to see somebody painting furniture with something other than chalk paint 😘 great job
Haha, thanks so much!! 😂 It was a fun test, hope it helps some people with their DIY projects at this time!! 💗💗
This video is both EXTREMELY helpful AND timely. I just bought a 40/50-ish yr old china cabinet that is a combo of materials and I intend to paint it white. A friend said, "Oh, with all the new paints nowadays, you don't have to bother with extra steps." Sure- but if you want the thing to not only look good but last, you should 'bother'!😃 Thank you for all your clear and concise info. Great video!
Thanks so much for your comment, so glad it helped! All the best with your project!! 😍
Thanks for putting the work in. You've proved what I thought must be true. And since I hope not to repaint for years, the extra work of sanding and doing the top coat is absolutely worth it to avoid having to re-do the job in just a few month because I wanted to save an hour or less now.
You're so welcome, glad it helped! Good luck with your project!! 🥰💜
I have finally found what I’ve searched for and watched countless videos for!! LEGO man test is such a good idea. THANK YOU.
Thanks so much, I am glad I could help!! 😍
Wow, what a comprehensive video! Thank you for creating this!
You're very welcome! Hope you found it useful! 😍
Thanks for doing all this comprehensive work so I don't have to!!
My pleasure! Glad it helped! 🥰
Sanding will help in the long run especially with laminate. It helps the paint and primer bond better to the surface so it should hold up to wear and tear overtime better.
Definitely agree! 💜
Best teaching video I've seen so far on what to use & how. Perfect for me!
Wow, thank you! So glad it was helpful for you!! 🥰

What a great video!! You answered many of my questions. Did the chalk paint perform better than the others when you sanded, primed, painted and sealed?
This was very helpful.
That's great to hear, so glad it helped!! 💗

Very helpful!! Thank you so much 😊
You are most welcome, so glad it was helpful! 😊
Hi, good test, though i was a decorator for forty years and alway's taught to sand with Fine sandpaper to form a "tooth" , Chalk Paint as good durability, as regards paint brushes Purdy are the best brushes, they are expensive but will last for years if you clean them well after usage.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!! Yes I definitely agree about the sanding! 😊
I used to buy Purdy also. Then Sherwin Williams bought them and they don't seem as good. I have switched over to Wooster about six years ago. And I swear by those things....Specially the shortcut brush. Easy on the hand and paint paint paint. Joy joy joy. Take care
all in all, don't be lazy. sand it, prime it, and coat it😁
Haha yes, pretty much!! 😂
Sanding is always recommended as it create a profile for the paint to stick on (especially laminate). Can you advise if during this test you followed the required curing time (recommended) for each coat?
Yes I completely agree, definitely helps the paint to stick!! 😊 And yes, I followed all instructions/waiting times between coats. Thanks for watching! 😊
Nice video keep it up dude , great content.
Thanks, will do! 😊
Very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
Thanks for sharing this!!!!
No worries! 🥰
Awesome video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Do you think you can skip primer if you sand it? So pretty much sanding -> 2 coats of paint -> topcoat. Or do you still advise to add a primer? I also saw many people do 2 coats of EACH step, do you feel like that'd help or is it unnecessary? Thank you so much for this video, it's definitely making me see why all these steps are important!
I would say if you are painting a more "plastic-y" surface like laminate, it's a good idea to do the primer as well, with wood and wood veneer the paint will probably stick better without primer so you could give that a go if you'd like to! Sometimes with real wood the "tannins" (juices from the wood) end up bleeding through your paint after a year or so though - this is where an undercoat is helpful, but an oil-based one is really the only thing that stops that problem in my experience. But you could just touch it up with paint if anything bleeds through too!
I usually go with as many prep steps as possible if it's in a high traffic area, and you could possibly leave out primer if it will be tucked away in a corner. I hope that helps!! Good luck with your projects!! 🥰
@@HamptonYourHouse oh my gosh you are a true angel responding to everything in such detail!!! Thank you so much, this is way more useful than you think. Your advice is priceless
@@MrsRemi Awww thank you, and you're very welcome! 🥰x

Does curring time have an impact as well?
I did a bit of a more in depth test on curing time with chalk paint in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Tcp_Cjdgd7Y/v-deo.html I think giving it more time to cure does help. 🥰
Hi belle thanks for the great video! Just wondering how does ikea laminate furniture go with spray paint?
I haven't had a good try with spray paint on laminate, but I would suggest using a spray primer for plastics before you put the spray paint colour coat on, and a top coat might help it to last better too. You could also ask in your local hardware store for tips and suggestions! 🥰
Cool video... cheers
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I want to paint my ikea bookcase, but I got so confused because I didn’t know how to do it. This video made it easy for me. I would like to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind. Can I use another type of primer? Like 2x ultra cover primer. Also, did it came out sticky or smooth?
You are so welcome! I looked up the 2x ultra cover primer - is it the Rustoleum one? From what I can see it says it bonds to plastics, so I think it should bond to a laminate/Ikea faux wood-type surface pretty well. It sounds similar to the one I used, just a different brand. And my primer came out sticky and stayed quite sticky even when dry - I think this helps the next layer of paint to bond to it. Hope that helps and all the best with your project! 😊
@@HamptonYourHouse yes it’s Rustoleum. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Have a nice day!
@@fatimaalobeidly70 No worries, you too!
I did light sanding on laminate bookshelves and painted chalk paint and it chips right off :( do you think I should just paint top coat and it should be fine or remove all the paint prime it and then repaint it?
Sorry to hear that, that is so frustrating! 😏 I think if it was me I would probably be wanting to sand off the paint and try again, and make sure you give it a good sand and clean, and prime too, especially if it's a cheap brand of chalk paint. You could also try using a higher quality chalk paint too if you haven't already, like Annie Sloan? I will be doing another test using her paint and wax soon. :) Good luck, I hope it all turns out well in the end!! 🥰
Just asking for a bit of advice.
I’ve bought some IKEA inserts to go into a Kallax unit, it’s states on the website that they are fiberboard and coated in acrylic paint.
Will this method work in repainting them or will another or easier method apply?
Thanks :).
Hi, It probably depends on how shiny they are. If they have a really shiny slippery surface I would recommend sanding and a bit of spray primer, but if they're not the super shiny ones, you could try a good quality chalk paint with no prep if you like. If it was me, I would still sand them a bit first to give the paint a better chance of adhering, especially if it's something that will be used a lot. Hope that helps, and best of luck with your project! 😊
So basically sand and prime no matter the paint or surface.
Fresh unpainted wood doesn't necessarily need any prep, unless the wood tannins are likely to bleed through, then a primer (oil-based works best to stop this) will help with that. With previously painted wood you could use a good quality chalk paint without priming or sanding if it's not going to be subject to much wear and tear. But I have four little kids, so for my situation I would recommend sanding at least, especially if the surface you're painting over is shiny. And for the Ikea furniture and laminate I would recommend more prep steps too, but it's up to you, like I said, depending on the amount of wear and tear you think each piece of furniture will be subjected to. Good luck with your projects, would love to hear how you go! 🥰

Nice sharing
Stay connected
Thank you! Thanks for watching. 😊
throwing your car keys onto the wood over and over again gave me anxiety :O but nice video ;)
😂😂 Sorry about that!! Glad you found it helpful overall!! 😊
Have you found that the paint on the unsanded part stayed on the same as for the sanded area?
The paint on the sanded test areas definitely seemed to hold that little bit better from what I could tell. Even just lightly sanding a surface can help to give the paint something to grip onto - especially if the item you're painting will be in a high traffic area and will be exposed to getting knocks. I'm planning on testing some other types of paint soon too, to get a better idea of how different brands of paint hold up. All the best with your painting projects and thanks so much for watching!! 🥰💜
Hello sister aap ki video mujhe bahut pasand Aaya so sweet
Hello, thank you for watching!! 😊
Did you use water based primer under the chalk paint?
Yes, water based. 😊
Great.. 🙏
So does laminate mean it’s not real wood
Yes that's right - laminate is made of plastic but made to look like wood (at least this is the term we use for it in Australia, other countries might use a different word?), and then usually stuck over chip-board to make the furniture. Not to be confused with a "wood veneer," which is a very thin slice of real wood stuck over either a cheaper wood or MDF/particle board or something similar. Hope that helps! 🥰
Lk 22 interesting video
Thank you so much! 😊
Very nice video I am your new friend
Thank you so much for watching! 💜
Love you madam
Thanks! 😂 Thanks for watching. 😊
Water based paint will only dry so hard. If you are going to paint something that is going to take abuse use oil based paint.
That's a really great point, thanks T Smith! 🥰
@@HamptonYourHouse I forgot to mention that I used rust oleum topside marine paint for my cabinets. It’s a special kind of oil based paint that expands so it’s less prone to cracking. I called the company and they said it was fine to use but I still used it on an old table of mine first and I am impressed with it. It dries rockhard so for things that are prone to chipping it’s perfect.
Very informative video.. females can apply same.rules.while applying makeup 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha!! So true!! 😂😂
Thank you for this. Very useful!
